Plant description
Only recently introduced, this late flowering shrub is already in demand for its handsomely variegated, aromatic foliage and clusters of mid-blue flowers, which form in tiers along the length of the stems from late summer. Becoming drought tolerant once established, it will also thrive in coastal conditions.

How to care for Caryopteris × clandonensis White Surprise (PBR):
In March prune all of the flowered stems back hard to the permanent framework. After pruning apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant.
Please note:
This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
